Chapter 23: The Princess Suddenly Reveals her Identity

Qin Yu looked at Wang Murong’s face, which was filled with disbelief and laughed a little. “What, does Miss Murong not believe me?”

“That’s not it!” Wang Murong finally reacted as she hastily replied. “Qin Xiong, it’s not that I don’t believe you but right now, there’s no difference between these soldiers and dead ones. It’s impossible for them to take the initiative to launch an attack, unless, unless…but how could that be possible?”

“Miss Murong, I don’t know what the ‘unless’ indicates but from my knowledge, these terracotta soldiers can be controlled by a person as long as they’re living.” When Qin Yu finished, he looked at a big terracotta soldier next to them and with a thought, ordered, “Come forward.”

The terracotta soldier walked forward with a series of thuds.

“Stop. Return.”

Under Qin Yu’s command, the soldier returned to its original position.

*Hiccup* *Hiccup*

Wang Murong’s beautiful eyes widened, her jaw dropped as she stared at the scene in front of her with shock. A strange sound came from her throat and she was unable to respond for a long time.

After a while, she turned her head slightly and stared at Qin Yu with endless astonishment, causing Qin Yu to feel a bit uneasy.

*Hiccup* *Hiccup* Extremely strange sounds still came from Wang Murong’s throat. It took her a good moment before she could finally make some normal sounds. “H—how can you command them? It’s impossible…impossible…!”

Qin Yu’s sweat dripped and he smiled bitterly. “Miss Murong, is that very strange?”

Nonsense, it wasn’t very strange—it was extremely strange! In fact, it was incredulously strange!

*Cough* *Cough* Qin Yu’s words made Wang Murong choke. After fiercely coughing a few times, she had finally recovered some strength and stared at Qin Yu again. The way she stared at Qin Yu made it seem like he was some sort of freak.

It wasn’t that outrageous, right?

Under her stare, Qin Yu felt somewhat uneasy.

“Qin Xiong, can you tell me how you achieved this?” Wang Murong finally released this sentence with a gentle voice, however, her facial expression didn’t change in the slightest. In her eyes, Qin Yu was still a freak.

With no other choice, Qin Yu could only explain what had happened in detail while concealing what happened with the Earth Spirit Pearl. Instead of saying that the Earth Spirit Pearl swallowed the spirit, he said that he was the one that destroyed the spirit and absorbed it, thereby getting the power to command these terracotta soldiers.

Hearing Qin Yu’s narrative, Wang Murong’s exaggerated expression filled with disbelief finally faded as she breathed out a sigh. “So that’s what happened. It seems like I came here through the spirit’s mind control.”

“You didn’t come here by yourself?” Qin Yu found it somewhat strange.

Wang Murong nodded slightly. “The evening after you left, I looked everywhere for you with no luck. That’s why I went into the forbidden area alone. Unexpectedly, when I reached the mouth of the cave, I was taken over and controlled by a spirit. What happened earlier was that my body was under the spirit’s control. But if it wasn’t for that spirit, I wouldn’t have been able to come here. It was also lucky that Qin Xiong came just in time, otherwise, I’m afraid I would no longer be me. Qin Xiong, thank you for saving my life.” Wang Murong bowed slightly, feeling deeply grateful.

Qin Yu waved his hand. “You don’t need to be so courteous, it was nothing.”
